Easy Transfer Scheme
We all need a change sometimes. We're ready when you are.
There are many reasons students need to switch universities and change what they are doing, but a change of circumstances doesn't have to slow you down. With our Easy Transfer Scheme, we make it straightforward, and our team makes the process as seamless as possible.
But first let us tell you why we think Chester could be the right university for you, and everything you need to know about how to make the switch.
Apply now or request a call back
If you know you want to apply to Chester, simply see the section below to see how you can apply now. If you’re unsure about anything or would like to discuss your circumstances, then complete the registration form and we’ll call you back to discuss your options.
Application
Once you have applied, the team will consider your application and whether we can make you an offer. At this point, we’ll make it clear at which level we are offering you a place and when we anticipate you starting on the course.
Transition
The team will also help you with all the practicalities of moving to a new university: getting your accommodation sorted; organising a personalised induction programme for you; checking whether you have any welfare requirements; etc. This should help take some of the stress out of your switch to the University.
Study Plan
We'll also formulate a bespoke programme of study to ensure you are able to complete your course during the remainder of the academic year.
